Overview

Property

Updated: 04-Oct-2016

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, downstairs w/c

Set in a quiet rural location, in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Close to Grosmont village with shops and railway station. The cottage has off road parking for 2 cars, front and back gardens with lawns and flower beds. There are 2 terraces to the rear of cottage on 2 levels. The upper terrace has sweeping views over the Esk Valley. Whitby and the coast can be reached in 20 minutes by car. Good for birds. Inside the cottage has been recently refurbished to a high specification offering all the comforts of home.

Comfortable cottage; superb views

It is worth staying at this cottage for the views alone; a wonderful vista right across the Esk valley to Egton, with steam trains in the valley below. The cottage is lovely; spacious and comfortable with a cosy lounge and a huge kitchen/dining room, each with their own Freeview HD TV. The description and photos on here give a good idea of the place and everything was very clean and well maintained. It is a ten minute walk downhill to the main part of the village but be warned; it is about 20 minutes coming back as it is quite steep, but that is the price of those views! The North York Moors Railway starts in the village so this cottage is ideally situated for people wanting to visit. We had a couple of large lunches in our favourite Whitby fish restaurant, the Magpie Café, during the week we were there so it is probably just as well there are some good walks in the area; we walked to Goathland and back from the cottage which is a round trip of about 7 miles - a map is useful if you take the route through the woods on the way there but the 'Rail Trail' walk back is easy to follow. We will definitely book this cottage again if we are back in the area.

Location

From the Owner

“We were looking for somewhere in the North York Moors park, and think this cottage has the best of both worlds; close enough to the best of the coast and countryside, yet tucked out of the way of the busy spots. You can get pretty much anywhere in the park in 30 minutes by car, train or bus. It's also got plenty of historic features as you would expect of an 1820's Ironstone miner's cottage, yet has all the mod-cons.”

“Wonderful views- you can watch the sun go down from bed if you want to.
Close to Grosmont village with shops, amenities and North Yorkshire Moors Railway station for trains to Whitby, Pickering and Middlesborough if you're brave.
Nice cottage gardens set in orchards and woods.”
